Keane would happily settle for a dog’s life

ROY KEANE loves dogs, hates complacency and struggles with fame and all its consequences as some of the most revealing thoughts from his autobiography show: On his love of his pet dogs: “Unlike people, dogs don’t talk shite. They won’t betray you or otherwise let you down. What you give you get back, and more.

“Your dog won’t know or care if you’re the captain of Manchester United or an unemployed, uneducated 16-year-old wannabe pro footballer.”

On Cork: “A superiority complex is the mark of a sound Corkman.”
